The reading of a thousand books, starts with one....

The books for LKG seem to be quite reasonable, a math workbook for 1 to 10 numbers, an English alphabet book, A picture book (My daughter seems to have taken a particular liking to this one) and a few notebooks.

The Tamil reader, a rhyme book and a story book will be handed out when the school begins, along with a crayon box and a packet of moulding clay.

They have also given a CD with a few rhymes and songs, the quality of which is OK, if you have listened to baby songs and a few other toddler Cd's that are commercially available, this may not match up.

On the whole the portions for LKG looks very reasonable and appropriate.

SBOA School Bus and Transport alternatives

The School bus facility at SBOA School and Junior College is for students of class LKG to class 5. The fee for the bus ranges from Rs.1800 to Rs.2300 per term depending on the distance travelled. The school bus picks up students from a point on the route closest to the students residence and drops them back at the same point. If the parent is not around to receive the child, the child is taken back to the school and the parents have to arrange to collect their wards from the school. The other option available is to send them via private vans. This is definitely more convenient as the pick up and drop are usually at your doorstep or closer than the school bus drop point and they usually wait for a few extra Min's. The biggest drawback is that all the operators use Mahindra vans(The green boxy ones) and they are not very comfortable. Swaraj Mazda or even a tempo traveller would be nice, but I guess only if a big group of parents go out of their way to find one, the situat...

Lunch Box Worries

If your kiddo eats as little as mine, I'm sure you are really worried about how they are going to handle their lunch at school. From yesterday I've started to put her lunch in her lunch box and make her finish it all by herself. It does take quite a bit of coaxing from my end to get her to finish it. I guess by the end of this month it should be easier for her to handle her lunch. If you are stuck with what to pack for her lunch and snack box, here are some ideas below Snacks Raisins, cashew nuts , walnuts, Peanuts, etc,.
